How to make your Apple Watch vibrate more prominently

The Apple Watch uses haptic feedback to notify you discreetly of incoming alerts, navigation and other information. This type of physical notification can be extremely helpful as long as you can feel it. If you find the haptic pulse to be too, subtle Apple has added a setting on the Watch and the iPhone that allows you to adjust the degree of vibration.

How to make your Apple Watch vibrate more prominently

Adjust Haptic Feedback On the Watch

If you don’t want to power up your iPhone, you can quickly change the haptic feedback directly on your watch. Just press the digital crown to access the Home screen and then tap the icon for the “Settings” app. Follow the steps below to change the haptic feedback.

Tap “Sounds & Haptics” within the Setting app to view the volume and other settings.

Swipe up to scroll down and access the haptic options for the Watch.

Tap the right button to increase the haptic strength. Conversely, you can tap the left button to decrease it.

You also can tap the “Prominent Haptics” slider to turn on this feature, which pre-announces incoming notifications with a haptic alert.

As you make these changes, the Apple Watch will vibrate allowing you to test out the new settings on the fly.

Adjust Haptic Feedback On the iPhone

These haptic options for the Watch also can be changed on your iPhone using the Watch app as follows.

Tap the Watch app icon on the iPhone Home screen to open the Watch app.
